Convictions and other penalties - A penalty for a driving offence

Post by gdenzilg » Wed Sep 04, 2024 12:46 pm

I want to apply for ILR in the UK, for a 5 year visa skilled worker route, however, I am confused by the section 'Convictions and other penalties' specifically "A penalty for a driving offence, for example disqualification for speeding or no motor insurance".

I have violated speed limit on 2 occasions,
1. I had to attend an online training course for the first offence.
2. I paid a fine on the second offence.

however, when I check my DVLA record, it says "You do not have any penalties and disqualifications." under Penalties and disqualifications.

now I don't know how to answer this question.

A speed awareness course is not relevant at all.
You may just declare the fine. You did not have any convictions, so there is nothing of concern here

thank you for your response.

when you say, I may, does this mean it's optional to declare it or not?

In case I omit that, what could be the consequences if they find out?

There is no ill effect but I suggest declaring the fine. Again there is no effect
